Love Pains
03:52

Midnight, I watch you as you're sleeping
You don't know that I'm leaving my bag is packed to go
Oh, no, no, no, it hurts me, hurts me so to leave you
Leaving for someone who I hardly even know
But time is come to say goodbye
To spread my wings and fly
To feel the need I feel inside
But I keep feeling these love pains
Hurting me through and through, caught between a lover or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Tearing me all apart 'cause I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Can't help, can't help but remember the love we had so tender
A world so safe and sound
Oh no, no, no, what is this? Temptation so inviting
A feeling so exciting has turned it upside down
Oh and though, I know I could be wrong
This feeling's much too strong
I got to be where I belong
But I keep feeling these love pains
Hurting me through and through, caught between a lover or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Tearing me all apart 'cause I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains? Oh no
Love pains
Hurting me through and through, caught between a lover or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Tearing me all apart 'cause I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Hurting me through and through, caught between a lover or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Tearing me all apart 'cause I don't wanna break your heart

Oh Savannah
Well, your father lends us a car
If we just won't go too far
And we always seem to come home late
Isn't that funny?
Well, your family is so afraid
'Cause our love keeps growing stronger
And they really don't want us
To carry on any longer
Oh Savannah, Savannah, Savannah
Oh, you've taken my heart
Oh Savannah, Savannah
We can make a new start now
This situation is tearing us apart
Oh Savannah, Savannah, Savannah
Oh, you know we can't wait
Oh Savannah, Savannah
'Cause it might be too late if we wait any longer
Oh Savannah
Oh Savannah
You call me on the phone
And you tell me how you're so lonely
But my Daddy won't let me leave home
On account of you, on account of you
Well, you know, well, you know
You know that we've talked this thing over before
Where can we go? Where can we go?
We can run away, we can run away, we can run
Savannah, Savannah, Savannah
Oh, you've taken my heart
Oh Savannah, Savannah
We can make a new start now
This situation is tearing us apart
Oh Savannah, Savannah, Savannah
Oh, you know we can't wait
Oh Savannah, Savannah
'Cause it might be too late, oh Savannah, yeah
Savannah, Savannah
We can run away
Oh Savannah, Savannah
We can run away
Savannah, Savannah
We can run away
Oh Savannah, Savannah
We can run away
We can run away
We can run away
We can run away
We can run away

There's a troubled look appearing
From the center of your eyes
I can feel your discontentment
In the air
I know you've been analyzing
Looking deep into our lives
Though you do your best to hide it
I'm aware
And it worries me so
'Cause I've seen that look before
It's like a cold wind blowin' across my heart
And it's killin' me
I can feel it chillin' me
Like a cold wind runnin' free
Blowin' across my heart
From the tension in the morning
To the silence every night
I see you've even lost your sense of humor, too
But do you have to look so closely?
Isn't simple love enough?
And what's your modern way of thinking
Done to you?
And it worries me so
'Cause I've seen that look before
It's like a cold wind blowin' across my heart
And it's killin' me
I can feel it chillin' me
Like a cold wind runnin' free
Blowin' across my heart
Oh, it's killin' me
I can feel it chillin' me
Like a cold wind runnin' free
And blowin' across my heart
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Ooh
Ooh
Blowin' across my heart
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Blowin' across my heart
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah
Yeah
Cold wind blowin' across my heart
Blowin'
Blowin'
Blowin' across my heart

Greenlight

Searching for a green light
Looking for it all night
Using all my keen sight
Searching for a green light
From just this side of midnight
'Til dawn breaks into daylight
Keepin' myself out of sight
Searching for a green light
Well I've heard this story before
But that doesn't stop me searching
It's been so long since you gave me a sign
A sign to stop my head turning
But all I have are just your old memories
But you know baby, baby that's fine
Cos I'm spending all of my time
Searching for a green light
Looking for it all night
Using all my keen sight
Searching for a green light
From just this side of midnight
'Til dawn breaks into daylight
Keepin' myself out of sight
Searching for green light
Lookin' around
But all I have are your old memories
But you know baby baby that's fine
Cos I'm spending all of my time
Searching for a green light
Looking for it all night
Using all my keen sight
Searching for a green light
Searching for a green light
From just this of midnight etc....

Everything Must Change
05:45

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And music
And music
Makes me cry

"Sticks And Stones"
People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Why won't they let us be
Bricks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
People talkin' tryin' to break us up
When they know that I love you so
So I don't care what the people may say
I'll never never let you go
I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(my heart's been torn)
I've been accused

People talkin' tryin' to break us up, yeah
Scandlizin' my name

I'm gonna use what I got, to get what I need
I'm gonna use what I got - use all I got
To get what I need, yeah
Look, I was born in a little old shack
Didn't have enough to eat, not enough clothes on my back
Lord knows I kept the faith, a heart full of woe
Now they're trying to get me, at the end of my road
Use what I got, to get what I need
I'm gonna use what I got - use all I got
To get what I need, yeah
The rich is content, while the poor do without
If you ask for some herb
They don't know what you're talkin' about
All say they answer, as if they're on the wind
It changes sometimes, that why I'm afraid I've gotta
Use what I got, to get what I need
I'm gonna use what I got - use all I got
To get what I need, yeah
(..)
The road of life is mighty steep
When you're broke, busted and disgusted
For you ain't got nowhere to sleep
I'm gonna find me a woman to stand by my side
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
Can't find no place to hide
I'm gonna use what I got, to get what I need
I'm gonna use what I got - use all I got
To get what I need, yeah
Use what I got - you know that I got to!
Use what I got - said I've got to!
Use what I got - you gotta use it!
Use what I got - use it all up now!
Use what I got - yes I have!
Use what I got - I've got to, got to
Use what I got - said I got to
Use what I got
Use what I got..

Nowhere To Hide
03:56

Lovers come and lovers go
But it's never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floatin' 'round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin' down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a man's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know he'll be there tonight
Can the future be foretold
In a faded photograph
Can a dream be bought and sold
Well, I guess I have to laugh
Sippin' on a scotch and soda
A shadow in the corner booth
So philosophic and drunk on grown-up truth
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a man's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know he'll be there tonight
Half-forgotten fragments
Of a high school dance
In the dead white hours of winter
When we loved so hard
That we thought it would never end
Tryin' to remember
How it used to feel
When a kiss was something special
And I wonder now
Will it ever be again
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a man's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know he'll be there tonight
Lovers come and lovers go
But it's never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floatin' round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin' down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a man's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know he'll be there tonight
Yes, I know he'll be there tonight
